OIL GAS BURNER.

Application filed March 25, 1925. Serial No. 18,118.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known thatI, ULYSSES S. lVnDnING- TON, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residin at, Childress, in the county of Ghildressand State. ofTexas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in an Oil GasBurner, of which the following is a specification. e

This invention relates to an improved fuel oil burner, which may be morespecifically classified as an oil gas burner.

My principal aim is to improve upon the burner disclosed in Patent No.1,524,604, granted to me on January 27, 1925.

The present improvement embodies a strikingly similar structure, themain difference being the improved design of fuel oil supply pipe used.In the present instance the pipe extends up through the base and intothe heated air discharge of said duct, and is formed into an arch, thefree end being directed upwardly through the oil cup of the base andterminating in close spaced relation beneath the breaker plate, which inthis instance, is carried by the arch. Hence, the arch serves a dualpurpose. That is, it serves first to heat the incoming oil before it isdischarged, and owing to itspartieular shape constitutes a support forthe breaker plate.

The relation of elements bringing about this improved result will bequite clear upon reading the following description in connection withthe accompanying drawing, in which:

The single figure represents a central vertical longitudinal sectionthrough an improved burner constructed in accordance with thisinvention, certain of the details being shown in elevation, forclearness.

Referring to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that the referencecharacter 1 designates a hollow supporting base which may be of anyappropriate configuration in top plan. At its opposite ends this base ispro vided with upwardly extending discharge necks 2 for passage of theupwardly flowing air. At its center, the base is provided with anannular depression 3 forming a trough 4: for excessive overflow of fuel.Th central raised portion 5 is provided with a small depression formingan oil cup 6 and a pair of annular channels 7 which surround the cup instepped relation. It will be noted that the bottom of the cup 6 isformed with arch.

an opening at its center for apurpose to be herein after described.

As before indicated, an air duct or manifold 8 overliesthe base, thisduct having down turned ends 9 telescopically receiving the reduced airdischarge necks 2. At its center, the duct is provided with a relativelylarge air discharge opening which'is disposed directly over the oil cup6. The details of construction so far. set forth in the detaileddescriptionare substantially identical with those appearing in theaforesaid patent.

. The distinction of the present device resides in the provision of theespecially constructed oil supply pipe '11. It will be noted that thispipe, which extends from any suitable source of supply, extends upwardlythrough the portion 5 of the base on one side of the oil cup 6. At 12 itis directed horizontally to extend cross wise of the air dischargeopening 10. This horizontal portion 12 terminates in spaced relationfrom the surrounding wall forming the air discharge opening. Thepipe 11extends downwardly as at 13 and is directed angularly as at 14 andfinally upward again as at 15 forming a discharge nozzle. The last namedupwardly directed portion extends through the aforesaid opening leadinginto the oil cup 6 as shown. By sobending the pipe, an

arch is formed and this is located in the air discharge opening.Advantage is taken of this arrangement by mounting the breaker disk orplate 16 on the crown portion of the Hence, as in the patent, a more orless restricted annular air space is provided around the periphery ofthe disc and between the Wall of the discharge opening 6 to retard thedischarge of the heated air. Obviously, too, the fuel under pressuredischarging through the nozzle 15 is literally sprayed against the underside of the breaker plate and then spread to cause an intermingling withthe downwardly flowing heated air.

In this way a highly combustible gaseous mixture is provided.

It is clearthat in a burner of this type that the priming liquid isplaced in the cup whenythe burner is initially started, any surplusliquid overflowing into the trough d. In this way the oil will be heatedand partially vaporized and so will the air pass ing through the duct.

It is thought that the foregoing description taken in connection withthe accompanying drawing will enable persons skilled in the art to whichthe invention relates to obtain a clear understanding of the same.Therefore, a more lengthy description is thought unnecessary.

Although the preferred embodiment of the invention has been shown anddescribed, it is to be understood that minor changes coming Within thefield of invention claimed may be resorted to if desired.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is 1. An oilgas burner comprising a base provided with air discharge openings andprovided at its center with an oil receiving cup, an air supply andheatingduct disposed over said base and having downturned ends connectedwith said discharge openings, said duct being formed with an airdischarge opening located over said cup, a breaker plate disposed insaid discharge opening and having its periphery spaced therefrom toprovide an annular passage for discharging air, and a fuel feed pipeextending upwardly through said base, cross wise of said dis chargeopening and downwardly, and having its extremity extending upwardlythrough and into said cup to provide a discharge nozzle, said dischargenozzle being located beneath said plate, and said plate being carried bya portion of said pipe.

2. In a burner of the class described, a base having an oil receivingcup and a pair of discharge openings, a duct connected at its ends tosaid openings, said duct having an air discharge opening located oversaid cup, and a fuel supply pipe including an arch located in said airdischarge opening, and a nozzle extending into said cup, and a breakerplate carried by the crown portion of said arch.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
